This isn't the hill I want to die on (part deux)

New York statue put on hold Word arrived today that the memorial statue to be built in front of the FDNY headquarters would be put on hold. I previously wrote about that. Mitch Albom (Tuesdays with Morrie) hated the idea and said so here. But first he tells the story about writing a screenplay about the so-called "Fab Five" freshman basketball players from the University of Michigan, all of whom were black. After pitching the idea to the excited Hollywood execs, one of them said: "There's just one little thing. Do you think we could make one of the players white?" I was tempted to say, "Sure, just tell me which one, so I can warn his mother when the film comes out."
